2.0 out of 5 stars Another wannabe "tango nuevo" album, May 5, 2007

By 

Michael Lavocah (Norwich, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Palermo Nuevo (Audio CD)

The product description says it all: "[the album will] appeal to a sophisticated lifestyle-oriented consumer". But will it appeal to a tango lover? Hmmm.

Unfortunately the better tracks here are the least adventurous, which should tell you something. "Libertango" is completely in the style of the Gotan Project's first album (which is no bad thing). But from here on its mostly downhill. "Vuelvo al sur" is given a very simple repetitive drum-bass treatment with no variation of beat.

What drew me to this album was seeing that track 3, "Homage to Chet Baker", was based on the wonderful tune "Alone Together". Unfortunately it's just a mess - the wonderful melody has no chance. Listen to Jo Stafford to hear this tune done properly.

Track 5, "The Gaucho's Pain" is indeed that, a painful reworking of Piazzolla's "Oblivion"

In summary: a commercial attempt to cash in on the tango nuevo mini-boom, with little of originality - sorry

4.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Rich Mixes, April 26, 2007

This review is from: Palermo Nuevo (Audio CD)

I bought this CD just for Libertango and found myself with quite a few nice surprises. The touch-up of almost lounge-like effect gives the music a layer of fullness than the traditional tango. Unlike the many comtemporary tango mixes that lack a distinct tune, the pieces in this album excel by revolving around a few memorable passionate main themes. The vocal parts are sexy and sad. Recommended songs #1,2,4,6,8.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exellent Claus Zundel Album, November 22, 2007

By 

ILIAS KIRIMLIDIS "Ilias" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Palermo Nuevo (Audio CD)

Palermo Nuevo is a real masterpiece by famous German music producer Claus Zundel's project "Tango Jointz". Zundel's music is as usually very sensual , spiritual. Involves chants and Dances from differnet corners of the world.
Acompanied by a number of Tango music performers Claus produced something which can at first sound strange but you will definitly love it after a second - third listen.

So, palermo Nuevo is lates great release by great "The Brave" !
